God of Compassion

Psalm 119:77 - "Let your compassion come to me that I may live, for your law is my delight."

We're down to our final 100 days in the journey through Psalm 119. This unique chapter of Scripture has taught me much over the past 77 days. To say that David was passionate about the law and the Word of God would be an understatement. Today's verse again speaks of the delight that David took in God's law. It also speaks of David's desire to be extended the compassion of God. David desired God's compassion so that he could live.

Have you thought much about God's compassion lately? It's because of His great compassion that any of us are around today. We don't deserve God's compassion and yet he gives it to us anyway. Why? Because He can't stop loving us. It's impossible. It's one of several things that our all powerful God is incapable of. His love for you means that his compassion to you is great. But, even His love won't stop His judgment from coming to those who don't choose to follow Him. God's compassion has it's limits. So, call out to Him now. Tell Him that you need Him. He loves you and wants to spend eternity with you.

Dear God,

Thank You for your wonderful compassion. Thank You that you choose to love us. Thank You that Your love for us will never cease. Help us to trust You and Your good plan for us.

In Jesus' name,

Amen.
